The picture of this American Kestrel was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.I was able to get this picture from the picnic tables near the Visitor’s Center. I usually look for butterflies in that area but the field was mowed back down to a lawn The American Kestrel was perched on the Swallow box and had a clear view of any acitivity in the area.
